Book Synopsis Spring, Heat, Rains by : David Shulman
Download or read book Spring, Heat, Rains written by David Shulman and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2009-08-01 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Rocks. Goats. Dry shrubs. Buffaloes. Thorns. A fallen tamarind tree.” Such were the sights that greeted David Shulman on his arrival in the South Indian state of Andhra Pradesh in the spring of 2006. An expert on South Indian languages and cultures, Shulman knew the region well, but from the moment he arrived for this seven-month sojourn he actively soaked up such simple aspects of his surroundings, determined to attend to the rich texture of daily life—choosing to be at the same time scholar and tourist, wanderer and wonderer. Lyrical, sensual, and introspective, Spring, Heat, Rains is Shulman’s diary of that experience. Evocative reflections on daily events—from explorations of crumbling temples to battles with ineradicable bugs to joyous dinners with friends—are organically interwoven with considerations of the ancient poetry and myths that remain such an inextricable part of life in contemporary India. With Shulman as our guide, we meet singers and poets, washermen and betel-nut vendors, modern literati and ancient gods and goddesses. We marvel at the “golden electrocution” that is the taste of a mango fresh from the tree. And we plunge into the searing heat of an Indian summer, so oppressive and inescapable that when the monsoon arrives to banish the heat with sheets of rain, we understand why, year after year, it is celebrated as a miracle. An unabashedly personal account from a scholar whose deep knowledge has never obscured his joy in discovery, Spring, Heat, Rains is a passionate act of sharing, an unforgettable gift for anyone who has ever dreamed of India.

But when her father remarries, Tamarind is sent to India to stay with the family she has never met, in their atmospheric ancestral home—a huge mansion high in the Himalaya mountains. Her arrival in India brings culture shock, secrets, and unanswered questions: What is the tension between her father and the family, and why will no one talk about her mother? Instead of answers, she is greeted with ominous silence. Taking refuge in the lush gardens one moon-lit night, she follows a friendly monkey to find an abandoned hut and a glowing star ring, and meets Ishta, a mysterious mountain girl. Tamarind unravels the mysteries of the house alongside the search for her own identity.

Book Synopsis SMASHING PATRIARCHY A GUIDE TO 21ST INDI by : RAJASEKARAN
Download or read book SMASHING PATRIARCHY A GUIDE TO 21ST INDI written by RAJASEKARAN and published by Rupa. This book was released on 2021-11-05 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Centred around the bold voices of millennials and Gen Zs, Smashing the Patriarchy explores how young Indian women from diverse backgrounds ingeniously overcome the patriarchy in their everyday lives. From beauty, body politics, and sexuality, to caste, power, and the paradox of choice, the book explores a wide range of women's issues and draws important connections between these. In the chapter 'On Beauty' the author examines why women pursue or reject mainstream beauty standards and the real-life repercussions of their choices. 'Ishq in the Times of Tinder' considers the conundrum that is love and what women want (and don't want) from partnerships. The chapter 'Women at Work' focuses on how young hyper-informed (and tech-savvy) women have shifted work culture across industries. 'Demystifying the Feminine' examines how women across the socio-cultural spectrum define and express femininity. 'Society, Sanskar, and Choice' dives into society's conception of honour and the backlash dissenting women face when they go against the norm. Taking its inspiration from multi-disciplinary theories, grounded and deepened by interviews with a variety of experts and numerous women, Smashing the Patriarchy is an astonishingly insightful exploration of the collective psyche of modern Indian women.
